My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 562
'That's... Lucas!'He seemed slightly different than usual with his messy hair and wearing a casual white shirt and beige pants. His face was mostly in the shadows, though. His dark eyes bore into hers under the cold moonlight but with a touch of confusion instead of the usual coldness. That gaze made Serenity feel uncomfortable. It was as if he was looking at someone else through her.Lucas moved and came closer to her."Have you been drinking?" Serenity asked reflexively. She could smell the alcohol oozing from his breath."Yeah. A little." Lucas chuckled softly, his eyes watching her more intently. Serenity pursed her lips slightly. "It's late. I'm heading home. Goodbye," she said and stepped away, intending to leave.Before she could walk away, his hand grabbed hers, pulling her into his arms. She trembled in his embrace. Lucas reeked of alcohol. It was far stronger than what she had thought.He had definitely drunk more than a little wine! How much had he consumed?!"Le

His tears. It was as if she had...Serenity suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. It felt like a sharp needle prickling the back of her head, causing her a moment of ache."Did you know? I really miss you... I miss you..." Lucas murmured softly, his face getting closer, his lips almost upon hers.'Smack!' A loud slap sounded in the middle of the night. Serenity panted nervously. The palm of her right hand was burning with pain, which showed how hard she had just slapped him.Serenity slapped Lucas so hard that his face turned to the side. In that instance, the air around them froze. There was silence.A long moment later, Lucas slowly turned his face back to hers. He fixed his eyes on her, but this time, there was clarity in his eyes, not the earlier confusion.Lucas slowly loosened his grip on her and spun on his heel without saying a word. He staggered away and got into his car nearby.Serenity's head had been throbbing in pain. She put her hand on her temple and tried to

Serenity felt quite amused sometimes, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Even so, she enjoyed quietly watching him from the side. It was pleasing to her eyes. She never thought the two of them could get along this way.Jackson was very focused on his work. As he quickly browsed through the documents in front of him, he continuously made notes with the pen in his hand.He was reviewing the documents at a fast speed and at the same time, multitasking on the computer and instructing his executives to follow up on the tasks. Serenity suddenly felt emotional seeing Jackson working hard. She used to hear people say men were the most attractive when they were at work. It seemed to be true.Everyone knew Jackson Valor as the king of the business world. After all, he came from the Valor family, an old money family. However, no one was born a king. He could have all the support from the Valor family, but only if he worked hard. Otherwise, someone else could dethrone him at any time. The Valo

"I'll cry if you really want to see me cry." Jackson's voice rang in the room again.Serenity's eyes widened in disbelief. What did he just say? Him? Crying?"What?" Jackson smiled gently."Did you just say... Y-You...""I'll do anything you want. I'll try my best to fulfill your wish," Jackson said. He lowered himself slowly, his handsome face closing in on her.Serenity stared blankly at him. His face was so close that she could see her own reflection in his dark eyes. He was smiling, but he spoke with a serious look. It was as if he would really cry and fall into tears as long as she wanted it."Do you want to see?" His voice rang in her ears again. A soft murmur, the sweetest words of love.Serenity shook her head. "No."Her answer caused a slight confusion in his eyes. "Why?""Because it'd hurt me. If you're crying, it would mean that you're sad. I don't want to see you sad," Serenity explained.Emotions stirred in his eyes. Her words created a warm current that flowed t

Even after years of searching for her, he never found her again. Lucas missed that little girl so much and regretted it even more.Lucas was drunk yesterday. The long suppressed regret in his heart suddenly burst like a flood, drowning him.Lucas had no idea how he got to the restaurant. All he had in mind was to see her again. He had to see her. As if seeing Serenity would make him feel better.When Lucas met her, the Serenity in reality and the little girl in his memory constantly intertwined. As a result, he did something out of character.Although he was drunk, he remembered what he had done to her. He would not have cared if it was another woman, but Serenity was different.Not because she was Jackson's girlfriend. Rather because she was so much like the girl he imagined she would be when she grew up.Serenity was not the little girl he was searching for, but he did not want to be hated by her."No big deal. We're even," Serenity replied flatly. After all, she slapped him f
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 567
On Saturday afternoon, which was Serenity's day off from work, she was dragged along by Lisa to a roadshow event for a movie."Do you know how hard it was for me to grab these two tickets?!" Lisa babbled on. "Finn Gordon is going to be at the roadshow. He knows you, doesn't he? Could you say something to him for me, please? Could you at least persuade him to take a picture with me?"Lisa looked as if she was so eager to meet Finn Gordon that she was willing to do anything, even lay down her own life!"Why didn't you just come with Terry instead?" Serenity asked, thinking that Terry would have been of much more help to Lisa than she could ever be.Lisa's mouth twitched. The truth was that she had kept the fact that she was coming here a complete secret from Terry! Judging by that man's temper, she was certain that he would mope and sulk for days if he found out that she had snuck out to see Finn Gordon at a roadshow!In fact, Terry had forced her to drink so much that she had gotte
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 568
Serenity was completely taken aback. She never thought that the special guest of the event would turn out to be Aria.It was common for roadshows like this to invite a special guest as a surprise for the audience, but most of the time, the special guests would be A-List celebrities. Aria, on the other hand, was no more than a third-rate actress before she became Lucas Gomez's girlfriend and was not even that popular at all. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her current fame was all due to Lucas. Because of him, Aria had gained much more work and income from the moment she started dating him, but apart from some advertisements that had appeared in public, everything else she was involved in—television series, music singles—were all still in production, so she had not released anything to the public yet. To put it bluntly, the sole reason she had been invited here today was because of her relationship with Lucas Gomez.Lisa turned to her friend with a guilty face a
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 569
How could Lisa ever forget it when Terry had flat out warned her, "You're my girlfriend now, so if I ever find out that you got more intimate with that Finn Gordon guy than a normal fan should be with their idol, I'll make sure he gets blacklisted in the entertainment industry so you'd never even have a chance to see him on screen again!"If anyone else had said that, she would have laughed in their face, but considering that it was Terry White... Lisa thought of how petty and begrudging that man could be and started to fear that he might actually do such a horrendous thing.That was why she thought it best to forget about getting Finn Gordon's number. She would just take a picture with him, get his autograph and some more of his posters, and be content with it.Not long afterward, a young woman sprinted toward them and said, "Hello, Miss Lewis."Serenity recognized her to be Finn Gordon's assistant, the one she had seen standing beside him the last time she had met him."Hello,"

“……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me!

"Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

"Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

"Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
